[Tax-chick]

You may not have seen the gun at your head, or the handcuffs on your wrists as you handed in your income tax forms and wrote out that check, but they were there if needed.

Exactly right. As P.J. O'Rourke said, "Would you kill your mother to pave I-95?" Because that's what it comes down to.

Occupied GA's tagline is right on. It's not a poor person - or sick person, immigrant, or Catholic bishop - on your doorstep with a gun, as a rule: it's our very own government.

yes at the first level you're absolutely right; however, it is the poor people, the illegal immigrants who are empowering the government to loot the fruits of our labors. They're not entirely blameless. You have the thieves (government) and the receivers of stolen goods (your aforementioned categories) working in concert to empower themselves at our expense. The Catholic heirarchy should stick to faith and morals, not wealth distribution.
